Scope and Content: The adjutant general of the Commonwealth, as executive administrator of the state’s Military Establishment, has been responsible for maintaining and reporting data concerning militia strength; these activities were intensified during the Civil War.  Muster rolls demonstrated the strength and readiness of the militia units at that time, as well as providing information for the payment of military personnel.  Rolls were filled out by the provost marshal in multiples with copies returned to the adjutant general.  These lists seem to be confined to information about men conscripted for service and substitutes.  In this, they would be auxiliary to the regular unit rolls.
Arrangement: Arranged within each subseries by regiment. Organized into three subseries: (1) Muster rolls (2) Descriptive rolls of conscripts (3) Lists of substitutes from various districts
